# Doesn’t insert analytics tracking code

 * Have installed the plugin and connected to search console, analytics and page
   speed no problem, allowed all access requested.
 * The dashboard shows no data, all are ‘Gathering Data’ for over 24 hours.
 * I checked the tracking code was being inserted, there is code on the page source,
   I have obfuscated:
 * <script type=’text/javascript’>
    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];function
   gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag(‘js’, new Date()); gtag(‘config’, ‘UA-********-*’,{“
   anonymize_ip”:true,”optimize_id”:”***-*******”} ); </script>
 * I have used some other external checkers who say universal anaylitcs found.
 * Is there a step I am missing? I have disabled wordfence, uninstalled and re-installed
   site kit but to no avail
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdoesnt-insert-analytics-tracking-code%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@jjones1978](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jjones1978/) I do see Site 
   Kit has inserted the snippet for your Analytics property. Can you inform me if
   you had Site Kit setup previously on that site?
 * If you did have Analytics setup previously, can you check whether there are reports
   from your Analytics dashboard directly at [https://analytics.google.com](https://analytics.google.com)?

 * Hi, no i installed Site Kit as i thought it would install the tracking code for
   me, I haven’t installed analytics through any other plugin or theme option.
 * Analytics is not registering any traffic at all.

 * [@jjones1978](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jjones1978/) Sometimes if you
   are just connecting the services to Site Kit there may not be data flowing within
   that exact property yet. If you checked the report from your Analytics dashboard
   directly it is possible there may not be data flowing within that exact property
   thus taking some time, possibly a few days to appear in Site Kit dashboard. It
   may take longer if it’s a brand new site and the data is not available yet.
 * Please be advised reinstalling and installing Site Kit can restart the process.

 * Thank you for your help with this.
 * Seems strange it would take such a long time to register, normally with other
   plugins you would definitely see traffic after a few hours and certainly the 
   current active users.
 * Two other things, there is a red dot on the site kit menu link in the admin system
   with 1 in it but no information about what that is for.
 * secondly, if I look at site kit / settings / analytics. The configuration is 
   ip’s not being anonymised.
 * Are there any other configurations I should be aware of?
